Very nicely positioned breather tank mate, but are you not going to use one of the block breather ports as the tank only has one take off at the top? Or are you not going to weld a return boss to your sump and will use the bottom takeoff to the old kidney box port?
Cool car

Cheers Dude, looks ok eh!
The breather tank Side port goes to the kidney box ,and there is a return to the block (turboside) underneath the tank. and an atmpospheric breather port underneath aswell. Job done. Gonna order some heat sleeve for the hoses , just to finish the job off.

So you don't have an oil return to the sump then?

yeah its pretty small , build a turbo heat sheild (got something nice in mind) , finish of the interior plastics , odd wiring tidy jobs , build a service plate in the boot floor for the fuel sender, fit rear arch liners , paint and fit a new n/s side skirt, fit boost gauge, full mop polish , set up and live map............ enough to keep me busy for now

I think this is one of the most anticipated cars on this forum, especially when you worry people that you're gonna sell it
No way man!!!

Hmmm, I dunno, you could sell it to someone who decides its a prime track example and then wraps it completely
Then again you could have some knob crash into the back of it on the road. Horrible to think of, but never sell it

Ive been messing about with alternators today ...... going to fit a focus 90amp alternator to the late cosworth alternator bracket .
The alternator bracket just needs a simple adjustment / mod .
Everything lines up a treat!!! (even before any mods!)
